Former Army Colonel and US Diplomat Ann Wright revisits Dallas to raise funds for the 2018 Freedom Flotilla, a group of international boats set to sail this summer to Gaza to bring much needed aid and supplies. She will give an update on deteriorating conditions in Gaza, and the continued efforts to challenge Israel’s occupation of Gaza and the West Bank.

Ann resigned from the US Diplomatic Corps in March of 2003 in protest of the US invasion of Iraq. She has since become an outstanding proponent for peace in our world, and a model of non-violent resistance and change. She has sailed on three of the prior Gaza Flotillas, including the most recent 2016 Women’s Boat to Gaza.
